EXMOUTH coastguards had to be called after two teenagers who had been drinking were spotted drifting offshore in an inflatable dingy.

A local boat, Sierra One, went to Ladram Bay to rescue the teenagers but stood down after a RIB took on the task of towing the inflatable back to shore - where it was discovered the pair had been drinking.
